Hyderabad: India opener Shubman Gill, who was down with fever, was discharged from a multi-speciality Chennai hospital. He was admitted as his platelet count was low.
Gill has returned to his hotel in Chennai. Gill, a prolific batter, who caught fever just ahead of India's opening clash against Australia in Chennai, was ruled out of that game. Subsequently, the Punjab player also did not travel with the Indian team to New Delhi, where it is scheduled to play Afghanistan on Wednesday October 11 and is ruled out of that game too.
He was admitted to a private medical facility Kauvery in Chennai. His platelet count was 75K and now it is over 100K and has been discharged.
However questions marks remain over his availability for the much anticipated clash against arch rivals Pakistan, which is scheduled to take place in Ahmedabad on Saturday, October 14. In the game against Australia which India won by six wickets at the Chepauk, Ishan Kishan opened the batting along side skipper Rohit Sharma. However the duo miserably failed as both were dismissed on ducks.

BCCI Secretary Jay Shah in a media statement had on Tuesday said that Gill was being monitored by a medical team. Gill has been in tremendous form in the white ball format and fans would hope that the young right handed batter recovers soon and joins the team.
